In partnership with Emmy-nominated filmmaker John Howarth, Dell’Arte International transformed its highest-grossing stage production, Mary Jane: the Musical, into a “Musical Potumentary,” combining elements of the live show with footage of real-life issues facing Northern California. Mary Jane – A Musical Potumentary had its world premiere during the 2016 Mad River Festival and has continued on with entry into numerous film festivals around the country, bringing Humboldt’s local cannabis conversation to a national audience. Dell’Arte and filmmaker Howarth are proud to announce that the film has won its first award of the year for Best Musical at the 2016 Oregon Independent Film Festival. This year’s OIFF will feature over 65 films, made in over 8 difference countries and runs in both Eugene and Portland during September 20 – 28th. You can learn more by visiting the OIFF website.
